"Great Korean food and drinks were certainly delivered! Of all the great places highlights would be the excellent BBQ location and the Tteokbokki from a neighborhood institution that hasn't changed for many years. Dee himself is a very easy going and has many great insights to the culture and the food itself. There was a review that mentioned him as as 'if a dear friend lived in Seoul and decided to show you his favorite places to eat.' This was most certainly my experience!"
"Daniel Gray, personable, articulate, knowledgeable and FUN! The tour was exceptional! We explored and tasted many different rounds of food, starting with Korean BBQ. It was delicious! Daniel was the perfect host! His associate, Yoon was very helpful as well! We ate lots at different places while Daniel gave us a tour of the area as well. He even handled my son's food allergy discreetly. I LOVED this walking, eating tour! Highly recommend! Highlight of our trip! Well worth the cost!"
"Although food is normally a big part of my trips, I've never explored the background of the food markets properly. Dan has a great sense of humour, is knowledge about not only what we were eating but the cultural significance behind everything too. With his background in food (blog, bars, restaurants and TV) this was one of the most interesting part of my trip to Seoul. Don't fill up on lunch, I was so full after this tour! Highly recommended."
"My wife and I had been eating our way through Seoul for a few days before this tour and we thought we had seen everything. The food tour with Dan was the perfect mix of authenticity, culture, and food."
"It was awesome! Yoon was a wonderful guide and took us to local places. Korean BBQ where the food was amazing I've been eating Korean BBQ my whole trip and so far that was my favorite spot."
"We went on the 'hipster food tour' and had an excellent time. A lot of delicious traditional food and drink and not a man bun in sight! Dan was fantastic. A definite highlight of our stay in Korea. I would recommend going towards the beginning of your trip, as Dan will be able to give you plenty of tips."
